Killer Instinct (Actual SNES Capture) - Eyedol Playthrough on Max Difficulty

This is a capture of me playing through Killer Instinct on the SNES. I'm playing through the game on max difficulty (six stars) using the game's boss character: Eyedol. This is not an emulator. This footage was recorded directly from my Super Nintendo using an actual Killer Instinct cartridge.

Here's some new 60 fps footage of the SNES port of Killer Instinct. Although the SNES version of this game was severely downgraded from the arcade version and several animations were removed, the game still runs at 60 fps, like most SNES games.

Eyedol is my second favorite character in the game next to Fulgore. I've recorded this playthrough with him just to show how overpowered he is even if you're using him against the computer. I used to resort to Eyedol whenever the game pissed me off as a kid. It was my way of getting revenge.

Eyedol is overpowered for the simple fact that every single button is an opener. That means you can start a combo simply by pressing medium punch or quick kick or anything else. Also, his club swing and fireballs can counteract most attacks.

As I've shown in this video, you can easily win every match as Eyedol simply by pinning someone in a corner and then using down + quick punch as an opener. The game typically won't block this low attack, and you end up getting free combos. However, this tactic won't work against Eyedol himself since he automatically blocks low attacks without needing to crouch (another reason why he is overpowered).

I tried to annihilate each character while also making the footage entertaining. I hope you like it.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official SNES S-video cable at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the SNES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

I'm using a standard SNES controller.
